The highlights from John Maytham's weekday show

Afternoon Drive with John Maytham

John Maytham is a trained actor who made the switch to radio over 20 years ago when he joined the news team at Radio 604.

He then swapped reporting for anchoring an AM drive time show at a national talk radio station.

Once he set the bar for South African news and talk radio he accepted the challenge to join Primedia Broadcasting and help establish the newly founded CapeTalk, fulfilling the role of both News Editor and Breakfast Host.

He was the first host to switch on the mic on 14 October 1997.

Years later, he was also the first radio broadcaster to do a Google Hangout in South Africa.

High hopes that new cannabis bill will finally provide clarity

Africa Melane speaks to Lawson Naidoo, Executive Secretary of the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution (CASAC). He provides expert insight into the importance of parliamentary oversight and how committee leadership affects governance and public trust.

Afternoon Drive with John Maytham is the late afternoon show on CapeTalk. 

Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic, and weather.

What Washington is feeling: American/Israeli/Iran conflict

It was the second day in court for Caroline Peters, who is facing a criminal charge for allegedly identifying a man accused of a sexual offence before he entered a plea. Prosecutors argue that by naming the accused, she contravened a section of the Criminal Procedure Act designed to protect the identity of those facing rape allegations until formal pleas are made. Outside the court, supporters say the case raises broader concerns about gender-based violence, survivor advocacy, and the limits of free expression.
